A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Indian legends; both her knowledge of archaeology, and the time allowed for the completion of the work are inadequate to such an achievement. She has attempted to gather the more noticeable legends already in verse in order to stimulate interest in the scenery and romance of herS tate. From its name Minnesota to its floral emblem the moccasin flower theS tate everywhere bears the impress of former occupation. A bout every lake, forest, and valley clings the aroma of romance in the form of name or legend of the vanished Red Man. The indistinct memory of his loves, wars, and adventures is growing rapidly fainter, until even the story-teller himself is confused as to the relation between event and locality. It has therefore seemed wise to link indissolubly scene and incident, that the poetry of those who have here lived and loved may not be completely displaced by the prosaic commerce of the white man.
